Cot Well and Left Before Disease was
Discovered Now at Columbus
City, Washington.
Wahiiimiton, Aug. 3. Marino hos
pital ollicinlfi ut Ilnmpton have suc
ceeded in tr.ici ut: nnd locating n former
Inmate of tho soldiers' homo, who is bo
liuvcd to have brought yellow fevor to
that place. Ilia nntuo is William
Thomas. Ho arrived at the homo on a
transport from SnnthiRO, whero ho had
been vieltiiiK from July 2 to 5 Inst. lie
km admitted to tho homo as a veteran
and Bonn after developed chills and
fever. In the light of Bubiequent events
experts believe there is little doubt ho
was afft'eti'd with u mild enso of yellow
fever, tiltlionch he was not diagnosed as
each at the time. When well enough to
travel he left tho homo and his baggage
was eent to I'heehuB. The man him
elf went to Columbus City, WubIi.,
where he now is.
Surgeon-General Wyman regards it as
fortuuate that Thomas went to such a
liigli altitude, ne it greatly lessened the
danger of infection. Another change
was inndo toduy in tiie destination of
troops at Fort Monroe. General Mor
rltt telegraphed tho war department
tliat in defurenee to the earnest recom
mendation of Surgeou-Ueneral Wyman,
he would direct that the troops bo sent
to Plum inland, in Long island sound.
Hoot Will Do Right.
Nkw Youk, Aug. 3. A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Mr.
Koot spent his first day as secretary of
wp.r in dealing with tho yellow fever
problem, asking Information and en
deavoring to promoto harmony. He de
clared Hint he did not purpose to be in
fluenced by factious, but would do wiiat
he thought was right for the service and
the country.
No New Cases.
Newroitr Nkwb, Va., Aug. 3. The
Soldier)' Home situated at Hampton Is

For un Editor to Iteeoinineiid I'atcnt

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad,
N. C.
It may be n question whether the
editor of a newBpnper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood tho
market, yet as a preventive of suffering
wh feel it a duty to Bay a good word for
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera nnd Diar
rhoea Remedy. We have known and
used tliiB medicine in our family lor
twenty years and huye always found it
reliable. In many caeca a dose of this
remedy would Bave hours of suffering
while a physician is awaited. Wo do
not believe iu depending implicitly on
any medicine for a cure, but we do
believe ttiat if a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Remedy was kept; on hand
and administered at the inception of an
attack, much suffering might he avoided
and in very many cases the presence of
a physician would not be required. At
least this has been our experience
during the past twenty years. For sale

THE SITUATION
IS TENSE

President Mellon Returns to Portland to
Meet Mr. Hartman Portland the
Fighting Ground.
Portland, Aug. 3. Northern Pacific
ofllciule, head men of the O. R. & N. and
the chairman of the Union Pacific direc
tory havo been in conference over the
ultimatum of the Northern Pacific to the
O. R. & N. must promise to keep out of
the Nez Perces country and must give
the Northern Pacific full trackage rights
down the Columbia from Lewiston to
Portland, or have its line paralleled down
the Columbia. The situation may be
set down as tense.
No hint of what transpired among
them has been allowed to escape, but
ono result of the meeting is that a spec
ial train wbb made up hastily yeeterday
afternoon and left at 5 o'clock over the
O. R. & N. for Lewiston. In addition to
the heads of the three roads interested
were: B. Campbell, general traffic man
ager, and W. H. Kennedy, chief engi
neer of tho O. R. & N., and J. II. Kend
rick, general manager; J. M. Hannaford,
general traffic manager; E. H. Mcllenry
chief engineer, and M. C. Kimberly,
general superintendent of the Northern
Pacific.
Evidently the object of the trip is to
go over the physical aspects of the situa
tion. It is given out that the party will
be absent four or five days.
Sentiment in Portland is unanimous
against the O. R. & N. agreeing to with
draw from any part of the Columbia riv
er basin, or of promising to keep out in
future. If the O. R. & N. were an inde
pendent concern, it certainly would re
fuse to eutertain the N. P.'s claim
Idaho, east of Lewiston, is natural
Northern Pacific territory ; but tho O. R.
& N, ie controlled by tboOiegou Short
Liue and Union Pacific and what action
these roads will take must be awaited
with patience. As to tho matter of
trackage rights, best opinion holds that
tho O. R. & N. will give them, provided
terms can be arranged, the natural as
sumption being that the Northern Paci
fic will holdout for the lowest reasonable
charge, and that tho O. R. & N. will de
mand the highest it thinks tho Northern
Pacific will pay in preference to building
down the Columbia.
It looks as if a crisis must be reached
very soon. Portland will view with de
light a failure of the two roads to como
to teruiBandthe Northern Pacific put
ting into effect its threat to build a
short, down grade line to Portland.
